There are 66195 Minor Irrigation Tanks having ayacut of less than 40 ha in the State. Total ayacut for these tanks is 6.96 lakhs ha. Panchayat Raj Department is responsible for management and maintenance of these tanks.

During the District review meeting of Karimnagar District it was proposed that the management of all Minor Irrigation tanks shall be transferred from Panchayat Raj Department to Irrigation Department for revitalization and better management of these tanks to ensure their effective utilization for irrigation purposes.

After careful examination of the issue Government hereby order that all minor irrigation tanks under the control of Panchayat Raj Department shall be transferred to the Irrigation Department. However, the maintenance of all these tanks will be done through the Gram Panchayats concerned.

Irrigation Department is requested to take further necessary action.
